lyrics

I had a dream last night
I kissed you awake
And you laughed because my kisses tickled your face
And I sat on the edge of the bed and you rolled over and said its way too early
But I said no you gotta get up I've got something to show you honey

And I was there, yes I was standing tall
When the children began to grow up
When the buildings began to fall
And I see you in my nightmares but also in my dreams
I cannot believe the silences are never what they seem

I try to tell you my feelings with my hand on your back
I try to send you understanding to make up for where words lack
But inside I'm still a shy shy boy I'm twelve years old
Not to mention on account of bad circulation my hands are really cold

I don't want to wake up every day and pretend
I'm alright, I'm o.k., I can start new again
'cause every silence lasts accordingly
to what we could do
every moment is like gravity
that's pulling me to you

Why can't we open up
talk a bit
make a sound
cook a meal
read a book
take a walk on the ground
'cause I would like to be your lover
and I would like to be your friend
every day's an endless cycle of waking up again.
